Splunk Fundamentals 1 Practice Exam

Which port does Splunk Web use by default?

1. 8080

2. 8000

3. 9000

4. 7000

The correct answer is: 8000

Splunk Web uses port 8000 by default for accessing its web interface. This port is designated for HTTP traffic and allows users to interact with the Splunk application through a web browser. When you set up Splunk Enterprise, the Splunk Web interface becomes accessible at `http://<hostname>:8000`, enabling users to search, analyze, and visualize their data. The other ports mentioned are typically associated with different services or applications. For instance, port 8080 is commonly used for alternative HTTP traffic, while other ports like 9000 and 7000 may be designated for other functions such as management or internal communication within applications but are not the default for Splunk Web. Therefore, 8000 is specifically noted for Splunk’s web-related functionalities, making it the correct answer.
